This property has been on Booking.com since 14 Mar 2013.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the details. Was the air-conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews and suggest you write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. That's our promise to you.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travellers to make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

We will sometimes remove reviews if they include the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing or offensive language.

Private information. To protect your privacy (and that of others) we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We do not display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, you should contact Customer Service, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens when:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the accommodation owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review goes with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there is any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent it will be flagged during the moderation process.

You really cannot complain for the quality of accommodation and service this price!

Staff were pleasant and polite. The chill out area is great. The cafe and self catering facilities are great. Breakfast was cheap and very tasty. We had 'the Belfast' breakfast, the potato bread was out of this world. Mmm, struggled to finish it.
The place was very clean and fresh and there is a lift to take you up to your room.
You can stay out late if you like too which is a bonus.
The area around the hostel is fantastic for takeaways, cafes and bars and things to see and do.
We had to stay the night in Belfast and chose this place because it was cheap but we would definitely stay there again and are actually already planning our next stay.

Leaving my passport at reception for the duration of the entire stay -strongly disliked this. My first impulse was to just go to another accommodation. There was no soap in the room, so I had to buy one. Shower was wide open, meaning no cabin, so whole bathroom gets wet. No towel, but I have asked and given one at reception for free.

Room was clean (I had single en-suite room), linens clean. Location is great - not far to the very core of the city, and around the corner to the lively Queens district. Reception people helpful. The café downstairs is pretty good, indeed- variety, service, price. But they only work in the mornings. Wi-Fi is good, but only at the lobby area.

Our entire hallway backed on to a bar which I was not told off. So after 22 hours of travelling, I was looking forward to sleep and instead heard drunk guys outside shouting and laughing. Also, there was no free breakfst or coffee which was not convenient. Lastly, the wifi was dodgy and did not work anywhere except the small main lobby. This is very hard to deal with if you are trying to contact people to stay with or meet with. Overall, not very good and there are probably better hostels in Belfast. If you really need a bed to crash in and a shower, Belfast International Youth Hostel will do.

The man at the front was very friendly and helpful. He directed me to the best places to eat out and have a drink.

I could not access the library and leisure floor on Saturday evening even though it was during opening times.
They request an ID at check-in and I gave them my passport but I did not know that they were not going to return it until check-out and when I asked the receptionist to replace it with other id he was a bit rude. They should not keep passports as they are the only id for tourists who should always carry them in case of an emergency.

There were only 2 plugs in a 4-beds room and none of them was close to the bed.
Internet works only in the lounge where there is music all the time so quite difficult to talk in skype.

The hostel is 10-15 minutes walking from the city centre. The room are not huge but it's possible to have enough comfort.
Absolutely clean and the rules (no food after 11pm) make the hostel quite, especially in the corridors.
